One of the gems of eastern Queens, Bayside is a sizeable, wealthy upper middle class neighborhood close to the Queens/Nassau County divide.

It was ranked by CNN Money as one of the most expensive housing markets nationally for detached homes. Despite this, it has historically been seen as a very safe, desirable neighborhood in Queens for the upper middle class that maintains a high population density relative to nearby neighborhoods.
